The College of Veterinary Medicine, Al-Qadisiyah University discussed a master dissertation on the characterization of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from raw milk and dairy products using virulence genes and genetic variation by the postgraduate student, Mr. Mustafa Imad.
The dissertation aimed at isolating and identifying Listeria monocytogenes from raw milk and some dairy products and to detect virulence genes using PCR technology.
The dissertation highlighted the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles using a methanolic extract of Costus root against the isolated bacteria.
The dissertation recommended incorporating Costus root with silver nanoparticles as effective alternatives to antibiotics in treating bacterial infections and promoting veterinary applications based on nanoparticle structures as antibiotic alternatives to reduce the development of antibiotic resistance.
